Following the release of Netcam Studio 1.5.1, last week has been pretty intensive.

Despite it's generally running well for most users, a few users have experienced issues. We have also received a couple of crash reports (always about the same 2 issues).

Several users have raised their concerns around the lack of pictures attachments / library reports by email so we have been working hard all week to address all these points.

1.5.2 is a quite big release with a lot of changes, some are a bit risky (new FFMPEG, new DevExpress, Rule Manager changes, etc...) so it now requires some testing but on the other end it should address what we have considered as the most important from all the feedback we've got on 1.5.1.

One thing is known as not working anymore (temporarily) is the Slack notifications but considering that probably nobody uses this at this time and in order to re-integrate email notifications, this one had to be sacrificed for the time being

To be on the safe side: due to all these significant changes, It is recommended to first make a backup of the files located here:C:\ProgramData\Moonware\Netcam Studio\Server

And keep them together with the 1.5.1 installed in case it's required to go back.
